Care for your watch
- The rubber gasket that protects the watch from water and dust should be replaced every 2-3 years.
- If water enters the watch, have it checked immediately by a CASIO dealer or distributor.
- Do not expose the watch to extreme high or low temperatures.
- While the watch is designed for normal use, avoid rough handling and dropping it.
- Do not fasten the strap too tightly. A finger should fit between your wrist and the strap.
- To clean the watch and strap, use a dry soft cloth or a soft cloth dampened with a mild neutral detergent solution. Never use volatile substances (e.g., benzine, solvents, aerosol cleaners, etc.).
- When not using your watch, store it in a dry place.
- Avoid contact with benzine, cleaning solvents, aerosol sprays, adhesives, paint, etc. Chemical reactions caused by these materials can damage gaskets, the case, and the watch's finish.
- Some models have silk-screened graphics on their straps. Be careful when cleaning such straps to avoid damaging the graphics.
For watches with resin straps...
- You may find a whitish powdery substance on the strap. This substance is harmless to your skin or clothing and can be easily removed by wiping with a soft cloth.
- Exposure of the resin strap to sweat or moisture, or storing it in high humidity conditions, can lead to damage, breakage, or cracking of the strap. To ensure a long service life for the resin strap, wipe it clean of dirt and moisture with a soft cloth as often as possible.
For watches with fluorescent cases and straps...
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the fluorescent coating to gradually fade.
- Prolonged contact with moisture may cause the fluorescent coating to gradually fade. If any moisture gets on the watch surface, wipe it off as soon as possible.
- Prolonged contact with a damp surface may cause the fluorescent coating to discolor. Ensure the fluorescent surface is dry and avoid contact with other surfaces.
- Rubbing a surface with fluorescent paint against another surface may transfer the fluorescent paint to that surface.
CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. is not responsible for any damage that may occur from the use of this watch, and accepts no claims from third parties.

- Pressing [Button E] saves the data automatically. You can view this data in the Logbook Mode. Pressing [Button B] resets the values to zero. Calorie count data is updated every 10 seconds. The graph displays the percentage of calories burned against the daily target. One segment of the graph darkens for every 10% of the target reached. A segment is not filled if less than 10% is consumed.
Logbook Mode
In this mode, you can view or delete saved Calorie Counting data. There are several types of saved information:
- Daily Record: Contains data for the current day and the previous 6 days: graph, month, day, day of the week, calories burned, time (hours, minutes, seconds). A daily record can contain data for calories burned and time for up to 7 different activities for the current and previous days.
- Weekly Record: Contains data for up to 11 previous weeks: graph, calories burned, time (hours, minutes, seconds).
- Total Record: Total data for time and calories burned since the last total record was cleared. New data automatically overwrites old data.
Viewing Saved Data
In Logbook Mode, while viewing current data, press [Button A], [Button D], and [Button E] to view other information.
- Pressing [Button E]: Cycles through data for previous days (1-6) and weekly/total records. Press [Button A] to return to the current value display.
- Pressing [Button A]: Displays the total record. Press [Button E] to return to the current value.
